MEDERIC TURAY – A glimpse into the world of the artist

Born in 1979 in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, my artistic journey spans continents and cultures. Now based in Marrakech, Morocco, my art reflects the diverse influences that have shaped my life. Graduating from the Abidjan School of Fine Arts, I challenge societal norms with my concept of « human with a capital H, » transcending racial, geographic, and socio-political stereotypes. Descended from the noble Akan people, I honor my heritage through motifs like ancestral masks and spiritual symbols. My work serves as a bridge between past and present, inviting viewers to explore the universal human experience through the lens of identity and culture.
